CURIOUS STORY OF AN INvEy-

They tell curious story of old Chris
topher Meyer, who was more or less with
Ives. Many years ago he was work
man in factory where rubber shoes were
made. He received the fabulous sum of
81 .25 day. At night he worked out the
details of an invention for economizing in
the number of men employed in the fac
tory. One day he finished the machine,
carried it to the shop and showed bis boss
how we'll it would do the work of dozen
or twenty men. The boss was thunder.

invention Meyer seized big hammer and
knocked its delicate machinery into
chaos.

man, quietly. :.

time he was at the head of the business.
He lives in New Brunswick, N. j., in .

family, as old Meyer is worth ten 1or

AN OLD FASHIONED GIRL.
By JAMES Il. KENYON.


Old fashioned? les, must confess
The antique pattern OF her dress,
The ancient frilIs and furbelows.
The faded ribbons AID the bows.
Why she should show those shrunken
charms,
That wrinkled neck, those twany arms,
l cannot guess; her russet gown
Round her spare form hangs loosely down
Her voice Is thin and cracked; her eye
And smile have lest their witchery.

BY each attenuated curl,
She surely is must admit.
An old olI-fashIoned girl.

And now with those who sit arrow
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something of the oIti-time grace.
She yearns TO join the may waltz,
And slyly sniifs her smelling salts.
All. many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes!
Wherr'cr the gever-smitten lie
In srimy haunts of poverty.
Along the dark and squalid street,
Mid drunken jests of boer and churl.

Miss Peek a Boo wore straw col

merriment, and she danced with most
anybody in the wigwam.
Little Casino, the daughter of Fly

wore the gable end Of an "a" tent,
trimmed with red flannel rorettes. It
had veneered panels and the new and
extremely swell sleeves, blown up at
